Missus Benet's disapproval of Anya went way back.Anya never had any personality from a young age, and she was so obsessed with boys that she became a spineless girl when she met Jeremy. If there was one thing Missus Benet hated, it was women who could not live without a man. Had Anya not been her niece, she would not even bother to look at the girl.Rosie frowned. She looked at Corinne—whom she hated with a passion—and asked, "Is Miss Corinne prettier than Anya, then? Doesn't seem like it to me!"Missus Benet turned her head to look at Corinne and had the same look of admiration that she had before."She's unique. She might look like an adorable young woman, but there's a strong valiance in her expression. Even her gaze is firm and unyielding. Most importantly, she exudes a disdain for men and power, and this is exactly the feeling that Fashion Pyramid has always strived for!"Rosie bit her lower lip in displeasure. In her view, Corinne was a natural-born vixen who could even swa

Jeremy's sudden appearance shocked the crowd, and they all began to whisper among themselves."I'm not seeing things, am I? Is Jeremy Holden here at the Riveras' party?""He came here willingly for Miss Anya's sake, I presume? It's so touching that he's making an exception for the girl he loves by showing his favor to the Riveras despite their family feud!""I guess the Riveras and the Holdens are now slowly breaking the ice even though they've never interacted with each other before!""I heard rumors that he insisted on getting engaged to Miss Anya despite the objections of his family's elders!""Whatever it is, you can't deny that he's handsome. I'm so jealous of Miss Anya! As if having a handsome brother who dotes on her all the time isn't good enough, she even has a handsome and powerful future husband in Mister Jeremy!""Ah, I'm so jealous too!"Amidst the whispers and the discussions, Jeremy lowered his eyes and responded curtly to Anya."Yes."His one-word reply left a

When he was one step away from bumping into Corinne, he moved past her smoothly and naturally as he continued to walk forward.Corinne's body and expression froze slightly."It's late, so why aren't you home yet? Who gave you permission to come here?" he reproached in a deep voice behind Corinne.Corinne came back to her senses and turned around to look over.Amongst the crowd of onlookers was Annie, who had an awkward expression on her face. She answered stubbornly, "I was just socializing after work. It's not like I did anything bad!"Annie pursed her lips as she answered Jeremy and turned around to look at Corinne. She waved her hands ever so slightly and sneakily greeted her with a smile.Corinne suddenly realized that Jeremy was there for Annie. 'And I thought he was here for me. Well, it's good that Jeremy didn't come for Anya and showed no reaction when he saw her earlier. It couldn't have turned out better!'At that moment, Anya walked past Corinne toward Jeremy and lean

All of a sudden, there seemed to be some sort of pressure bearing down on everyone, and the scene became deathly silent. Everyone thought that the atmosphere was a bit strange as Jeremy seemed to be staring at Lucas's female secretary with a cold and sharp gaze.Jeremy had a conflicted yet dangerous expression that sent chills down one's spine.Missus Benet also noticed that something was amiss with Jeremy's gaze, since there did not seem to be a logical reason as to why Jeremy would stare so intently at Lucas's secretary.'Isn't he satisfied with leading Anya on all this while? Has he taken a liking to another woman? Tch. Men are all the same. They always want the best of both worlds. He does have a good eye, though. Corinne is an outstanding young lady whose beauty makes it difficult for those who lay eyes on her to look away.'Missus Benet did not welcome Jeremy's presence, and she was prepared to call someone to remove him from the venue.One of her male servants was looking a

Rosie would never refuse an instruction from the man she loved, and she nodded demurely as she said, "I will, Lucas! Rest assured I'll bring Anya back!"Her heart was abuzz with joy because she felt that Lucas's willingness to assign a task as important as taking care of Anya meant that she was a special person in Lucas's heart.Corinne, on the other hand, was just a shabby little secretary doing odd jobs.After Rosie left, Lucas glanced at the people all around him. His refined and elegant gaze was very polite, yet it belied the annoyance in his expression. "Do you all intend to continue being a busybody?"Everyone was silent, but they soon left sensibly.Lucas glanced at Corinne and said, "Miss Corinne, how do you feel after seeing someone you don't wish to see?"Corinne could hear the subtle sarcasm in Lucas's tone but answered calmly, "I don't feel anything."Lucas curled his lips into an expressionless smirk. "You're very honest."Corinne was starting to get bored, so she

"Corinne! It's you!"Jason's handsome face startled her and she finally heaved a sigh of relief."Ah, kind sir!""What's wrong?" Jason asked with a smile, "Who did you think I was?""Nobody. I was just startled when you placed your hand on me all of a sudden."'Hehe! What am I afraid of, anyway? Was I expecting Jeremy to come back and look for me? I'm just overthinking things!'Jason walked gracefully to her side with a smile on his face. "Do you remember when we last met? I asked you if we'd be able to meet again, and you said it's all up to fate. Since you and I ran into each other here today, does that mean fate has plans for you and me?"Corinne laughed heartily. "You're right, it's quite a coincidence!"Jason frowned and pretended to be unhappy at her remark. "Don't just brush me off like that! Aren't you happy to see me?"Corinne yawned. "Why would I be?"Jason sighed, and leaned closer to her all of a sudden, "I'm very happy to see you though."Corinne remained calm w

Jason was dazed for a moment when she called him that. Then, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "You're welcome, Corinne. I just rushed over here from work, and Zeke called to tell me that they were drinking at Grace Garden. Lucas was probably invited too. Would you like to come with me and look for him?"Lucas had very likely gone to meet Zeke and the others, and Corinne was confident that Jeremy would not be around because she had earlier confirmed that Jeremy had left.Having considered all that, Corinne nodded and said, "Sure. I'll go with you."...Lunar Century Manor's Grace Garden was a small garden separate from the manor. It was a very quiet place since it was far from the banquet hall.Corinne walked into Grace Garden with Jason, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw three men sitting around playing some cards.Jason asked with a smile, "What are you boys playing?""Jason! You came just in time! Care to go for a round?"Zeke cocked his eyebrow after dealing

Corinne's lips twitched. "You have nothing better to do, don't you, Jason? Do you have so much time on your hands that you can remember these things?"Jason said softly, "It's not like I remembered it on purpose! I just couldn't forget that day because I consider it our first date."Corinne was speechless. 'Date? What date?! I was married at the time! Even though I was just cooperating with Jeremy, going on a date with you would be equivalent to cheating!'She did not want to talk to Jason anymore. That rascal was teasing her at every turn! Unfortunately for him, he teased the wrong person.Corinne would never fall for that!Over at the other end, Lucas adjusted the order of the cards and looked up to see Corinne whispering so closely to Jason. He frowned, and a touch of contempt manifested at the corners of his eyes.Anya's best friend, Rosie, often mentioned how much of a flirt Corinne was, and that she would flirt around whenever the opportunity arose. He had always been skept

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
